Chapter Ninety-Seven: The King of the Bitter Domain, We Bear the Infamy

"Let's all talk about it, what is Dingguogong's idea?" Zhu Di asked the courtiers lightly.

What else can the big guy say?

If you cut someone, you have to ask if you can cut it accurately!

Is this something that a human being can do?

Which vassal king doesn't want to have more power and more soldiers and horses?

But who can say this directly? Not to mention writing it down in black and white.

Do you also want to learn from Your Majesty, is it difficult to have a Fengtianjing?

Such a lack of morality, at any time, it is full of resistance, and no one is willing to support it at all. But at this time, no one dares to object, and even praises the wisdom of the Son of Heaven.

After all, if the three guards of the vassal king are not abolished, redundant personnel must be reduced.

The lesser of two evils, or the bitter vassal king, let's bear the infamy!

Jian Yi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the words of the Duke of Dingguo are very appropriate, let the vassal kings report the situation themselves, and the court will deal with it at its discretion, benefiting the country and the people, there is no better." ”

Xia Yuanji also said: "That's true, the minister thinks that the household department can allocate 100,000 taels of silver, which will be specially used to reward the kings and show Your Majesty's love for brotherhood." ”

Zhu Di nodded, "The three elder brothers left one after another, I was originally the head of the domains, and the rest were my younger brothers. I, as an elder brother, really feel sorry for them, I don't want them to be tired, and I don't want them to be wronged. You must handle this matter properly, and make it clear to the kings, and if there is anything that is not handled properly, I will not agree! ”

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he was going to make a final decision, and at this time, Xu Jingchang suddenly took a step forward, "Your Majesty, this time the three guards of the kings will be abolished, although the King of Han and the King of Zhao have not officially taken up the domain, will they also be among them?" In the future, there will be no soldiers and horses? ”

Zhu Di's face changed instantly, and I didn't let go of my two sons?

Xu Jingchang was unmoved, "Your Majesty, since it is a rule, it must be applied as a whole, and there can be no exceptions." The King of Han and the King of Zhao are well aware of the righteousness and will definitely be able to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts...... Why don't you let your ministers ask them and see what they think? ”

Zhu Di stiffened his face, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go!" Everyone, retreat. ”

The ministers dispersed, but Xu Jingchang was not in a hurry to find the two pigs, but went home happily, got a table of dishes, and was about to eat, when Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui came in from outside.

The two of them were dusty and out of breath, and as soon as they saw Xu Jingchang, Zhu Gaoxu rushed over.

"Good! Very good! Cousin, you are so good to me! I'll dig out my heart and lungs with you, and if you turn around, you'll give me a knife, are you worthy of me? ”

Zhu Gaosui also snorted angrily: "Who said no, the second brother also said that he wanted to treat you as his own brother, I think you are a white-eyed wolf, it is too ruthless." ”

In the face of the reproach of these two people, Xu Jingchang didn't care.

"Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, eat some together, and then talk slowly. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a dark face: "I don't talk to you, if you talk too much, you will suffer a loss, you guy has a bad stomach, we can't be fooled!" ”

Xu Jingchang looked at him, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you have signed a lot of contracts with the people of western Zhejiang, right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it your idea to let me participate in disaster relief and solve my dilemma?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "It was my idea, but I think there are more than two difficulties for King Han...... That's why I want to help you out. ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled angrily, "Xu Jingchang, my good cousin!" You took my three guards and horses, and then said to help me solve problems, didn't you take the medicine first and then detoxify? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you have wronged me, you have made so much raw silk, do you have to recruit craftsmen and step up the work to weave silk, and then you can sell it to make money?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded subconsciously, "That's right, it's true." ”

"Are you worried about the craftsman's business now?"

"It's not just craftsmen, I don't even know where to put thousands of looms now." Zhu Gaoxu sighed, "I know now that I am so tired of doing things, I really envy you kid, fishing all day long and listening to music, at ease, I also envy it." ”

"Don't, if you don't work overtime, how can I listen to music with peace of mind?"

Zhu Gaoxu glared at Xu Jingchang fiercely and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"No, nothing." Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I mean you don't have a formal domain, you don't have three guards and horses, just make a statement, and you don't have to pay anything practical." Then you can ask the military department to find you a place, and then get some craftsmen from the palace from the weaving bureau. You can even go to the queen mother, cry to her, say that you have nothing left, business is not good, and ask the palace to place an order with your textile factory and pay in advance. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you are willing to give up, and you have to make a business first, and then you can harvest, don't you say?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought about it seriously, and after a while, he asked rhetorically: "Can this work?" ”

"Why not! And you, a vassal king, if you get tens of thousands of weavers, what is this? There will definitely be people who chew their tongues, it is better to take the initiative to give up the three guards, in business, let go, this is to give full play to your advantages, promote your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and make a fortune in the city...... Think about it, it won't be long before Your Majesty wants to do something, and you have to ask for money, how majestic and decent is this? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows twitched, he thought about it a little, and a smile appeared on his solemn face.

"Sounds good!"

"Second brother!" Zhu Gaosui screamed, "You have been deceived by him again!" Why are you so stupid! ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhu Gaosui fiercely, "What did you say?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said bitterly: "Second brother, if there are no three guards, it will not delay your business...... And even if it's for the convenience of your business, it won't make it easy for me? My military power is gone. ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't like to listen to it, "What do you want military power for?" Do you still want to rebel? ”

"Who wants to rebel!"

"That's it, give up the military power obediently, and when I turn back, my business will become bigger, and I will give you a fraction of it, and let you also drink soup."

Zhu Gaosui's face was dark, and I was so unlucky, just for a mouthful of soup, there was nothing.

"I'm going to find the queen mother, the person who should cry the most is me, you all bully me!"

Zhu Laosan grinned and was about to go out.

Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to take care of him, but they didn't take a few steps before they were blocked by a tall figure.

The person who came was Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.

Zhu Gaosui was stunned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Jinglong smiled bitterly: "I'll inquire about something...... His Royal Highness King Zhao, do you really want to cut the domain? ”

Zhu Gaosui was anxious, "It's to cut the domain, my three guards and horses are gone, you come to see the joke, right?" ”

Li Jinglong smiled miserably, "Where am I here to see the excitement, I'm here to ask for help." ”

As soon as Zhu Gaosui heard this, he became interested, and followed Li Jinglong back.

There is no way, the best way to heal the wounds of the soul is to find a bigger unlucky person, and you will feel that the world is bright in an instant.

Li Jinglong came in and said directly to Xu Jingchang: "That's the case, you know, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, impeached me some time ago?" ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "I know this...... I'm still a little strange, King Zhou is known as a virtuous person, and he is a very good vassal king, why is he impeaching you if he has nothing to do? He also said that you rebelled, this is trying to kill you!"

Li Jinglong's face darkened, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also stared at him.

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu is different from his brother Zhu Di, this is not good at martial arts but good at writing, and he also presided over the compilation of medical skills, he has always only known how to save people, but will not harm people.

However, this virtuous king actually wanted to kill Li Jinglong.

I have to say, it's a miracle.

"Actually, I don't blame King Zhou for this, I quite understand, if it were me, I would go directly to Your Majesty." Li Jinglong said.

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "Say, what did you do?" ”

"That is, when the feudal domain was cut, the second son of King Zhou secretly reported that King Zhou had rebelled, and then I went to King Zhou's mansion, arrested King Zhou, and sent it to Yunnan."

It turned out that Li Jinglong, this guy, was the pioneer of Jianwen's cutting of the domain, not only arrested the king of Zhou, but also sent people to Yunnan, and almost couldn't come back.

If you don't hate him, then it's weird!

"By the way, you said that Zhou Wangci impeached his father, what is going on?"

Could it be that the old Zhu family still has a tradition of filial piety between father and son?

Li Jinglong sighed, "Actually, this matter was done by Shi Wanghan, the head of the Zhou Palace, he was sent to the Zhou Palace, and after arriving at the palace, he scared the Zhou Wang's family and kept instigating ...... To put it bluntly, it's just to find an excuse to cut the domain. ”

"How do you know so clearly?" Xu Jingchang asked again.

"This ...... It was I who suggested sending Wang Han over! ”

No, this thing is too bad.

Xu Jingchang had already raised his fist.

"Forget it, I beat you and it hurts, King Han and King Zhao, you beat him out."

These two are furious, the fifth uncle is such a good person, but you designed to frame him, it should be a thousand cuts!

Li Jinglong was anxious, "I came up with an idea, because I was worried about directly arresting King Zhou...... I can do this better than Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng! At least His Royal Highness King Zhou is alive! ”

Xu Jingchang couldn't refute it, this reason was too powerful.

"I'm too lazy to inquire, just say, come to me, what are you going to do?"

Li Jinglong paused and said in a low voice: "Didn't I settle a small misunderstanding with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... I just thought, you see that Your Majesty is planning to cut the domain, can I say a few words for His Royal Highness King Zhou, he is really good. By the way, let him forget about the past, otherwise I will always be anxious, for fear that he will hold a grudge. ”

Xu Jingchang snorted: "It's up to you? Dare to stand up at this juncture? If you and King Zhou's excesses are resolved, you won't be afraid of Your Majesty's anger and settle accounts with you! ”

Li Jinglong let out a strange cry, "No, isn't Your Majesty very good to King Zhou?" ”

"How can the major affairs of the court be changed because of personal feelings?"

Li Jinglong was taken aback and lowered his head helplessly.

"Looks like I'm thinking too much again...... Otherwise, you will also cover me with a sack and send it to King Zhou, so that he can beat me. ”

What's the way to apologize?

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were puzzled.

Xu Jingchang coughed lightly, "You better stop dreaming, this level is not so easy to pass...... Let's go and meet King Zhou together and see what he wants. ”

Li Jinglong nodded hurriedly and slapped his chest crackling, "Please rest assured, no matter what the price is, I am willing." Don't frown. ”
